Running 1 Txducer w/ 2 sounders?

[Moonzy1]

Is it possible to run 1 Txducer w 2 sounders??

I am installing a R-509LHW and want to know if it can be run off the DFF3 and my DFF1-UHD in a switchable format? Not at the same time, but able to go back and forth through the MFD.

Even though the DFF1-UHD is only 1kw, perhaps it can take advantage of the chirp capable R-509 when desired...granted only at 1kw.

Thanks

Moonzy1,
If you use a transducer switch you can do it. Meaning the transducer will only be connected to either the DFF3 or UHD.

Is there a switch that can handle chirp and power up to 3kw?

Moonzy1,
Since there is really no current involved most high quality toggle switches will work. Make sure it's an on/on switch instead of an on/off/on. Be sure to switch both wires and the shield on both LF and HF channels.

This is interesting.
So from the R-509LH im going to run the wire to the switch. On the sounder side, I am going to run 2 sets of wires L and H Fq to each sounder.

No issue w impedance here adding a simple switch and additional wire?

Thank so much
This could be a great solution.

Moonzy1,
I am assuming you are only going to need 10-15ft from the switch to each sounder module, correct? Short runs are not a problem, sometimes it possible to use excess transducer cable for short extensions.

correct
Ok great thanks so much
